After Zhang Wei left Junzhou with his subordinates, Chen Ziang also temporarily took over the entire city defense system of Junzhou, and after these things, the people in the city were also fluctuating, and they were all terrified.

Someone even suggested directly to Chen Ziang whether he could go to Xiangyang Mansion and let Lu Wende send a large army to exterminate these water bandits.

Chen Ziang was furious, so he naturally refused directly, and even arrested and killed the guy on the grounds of disturbing the people's hearts.

After these things, the people in the city are also impetuous, and rumors appear from time to time.

Chen Ziang also didn't pay attention to it, but hid in the house and drank wine to solve the sorrow in his heart.

At this time, Shao Ming came to the door, and when he saw Chen Ziang like this, he immediately persuaded: "I said you, is it okay now?"

"What's not to do? After all, now that Lei Min is imprisoned, and that Zhang Wei is even more out of the city, wanting to find the water bandit for a decisive battle. Chen Ziang's expression was confused, and he opened his mouth to complain: "With the current situation, what else do you think I can do?" He raised his head, and the wine in the cup was swallowed into his mouth again, and he took another jar of wine and prepared to continue drinking.

Shao Ming was a little annoyed, snatched the wine jar with his hand, and shouted: "Then you just watched the people in the city being ravaged by those water bandits?"

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Ziang asked with a little dissatisfaction.

Shao Ming replied: "You should also know. Although Zhang Wei led 2,000 men and horses, the water bandit's whereabouts were unpredictable, and the Han River was also a vast area, how could he find the other party's hiding place? I am afraid that even if he finds it, he may fall into the trap of the other party. When the time comes, how can Zhang Wei alone be able to fight?"

"Huh. It's just some bandits, you think they're the elite of Mongolia?" Chen Ziang scoffed.

Shao Ming complained: "Hey. But you don't know that since the First World War in Kuizhou, many Tartars have not returned north, but have lurked. And among the water bandits, there are also their existence. Otherwise, why can't I get rid of it until now?"

"Oh, in this way, is Zhang Wei in danger?" Chen Ziang chuckled lightly, unimpressed.

Shao Ming complained: "Maybe. Anyway, we've got to do a good job, don't we? Otherwise, what are we going to do with the bandits when they come?"

"Let's wait until they call. ”

Chen Ziang was disdainful, still indulging in fine wine, probably drinking too much, and lay down on the table with his head tilted, snoring from his mouth.

Seeing Chen Ziang like this, Shao Ming had no choice but to give up persuasion, turn his head and leave here: "Alas, I hope this day can be spent safely." ”

He didn't notice that after he left, Chen Ziang opened his eyes and looked at the departing figure faintly.

"If you really want to exterminate the water bandits, why did you let them stay until now?

On the other side, Lei Min was also escorted by several soldiers and was directly sent to the prison.

After walking for a long time, Lei Min noticed that the road seemed to be a little off, and immediately stopped, opened his mouth and shouted, "Who are you, why are you taking me here?"

"Hmph. You're a prisoner now, don't you think you still want to struggle?" The two of them looked hideous, grabbing the chain with both hands, but they planned to drag Lei Min directly to the ground.

Seeing the two of them exerting their strength, Lei Min's face flashed with anger, and he shouted directly: "Look for death." With just one force, the two chains swayed, but they were taken out of their hands, and the two of them were twitched with a "snap".

Being made like this, the two of them were also extremely painful, looked at Lei Min with a look of horror, and shouted: "Do you know what you are doing? You dare to disobey the order of Zhizhou, do you still want to live? Believe it or not, I will punish you for a big disrespectful crime!"

"Hmph! Not to mention whether that Zhang Wei has the right to imprison me, if he really wants to be convicted, only Chang'an can be convicted. Believe it or not, even if I kill you two, that Zhang Wei will not dare to speak. Lei Min glared angrily and shouted directly.

"You want to take me somewhere else and then do it secretly, do you really think I can't see your tricks?"

The two jailers were arguing when a voice came from behind.

"You two stand down. ”

"It turned out to be Master Yang. Then he'll leave it to you?"

When the two of them saw the person who came, they immediately bowed their heads respectfully, but the person in front of them was a man with vicissitudes of white hair, and he looked like he was in his fifties. He is the only talent in this Junzhou, because he is quite talented, he has served as the chief secretary in the county government, and he has been until now for 30 years.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing this person appear, although Lei Min was a little angry, he had no choice but to give up.

Master Yang walked up to Lei Min and asked, "You may be suspicious of the two of them, but I won't." After all, I can't do anything to you, an old bone. Why don't you just let me take you to jail, okay?"

Lei Min snorted lightly, glared at the two of them with a threatening look, and then replied, "Of course." ”

The two jailers didn't dare to say anything, so they had to watch the two leave.

After walking for about a long time, Master Yang suddenly asked, "You don't seem to be very satisfied with the people here, there is always hostility, right?"

"That's nature. After all, the two of them want to take me somewhere else, what a thing!" Lei Min scolded.

Master Yang laughed: "Why does it have to be a prison in the west of the city?"

"That's what Zhang Wei said, are you planning to violate the order?" Lei Min glanced at Master Yang with a slightly strange look and asked.

Master Yang replied: "Naturally not. After all, I'm just an ordinary person, I'm afraid I won't be able to punch you. It's just that I always feel that if you are so friendly with Nazhizhou, this kind of thing shouldn't happen. ”

"Friendship? Lei Min asked.

Master Yang replied, "Haha." You also don't know that the prison in the west of the city was newly built by Zhizhou. The people inside were all carefully selected by him, saying that they were good for the water bandits they had captured. It's a pity that the first prisoner in this prison was you. ”

Lei Min was a little angry, and shouted directly: "I know." "It's also quite angry when he mentions this, because when he built this prison, he also helped a little, but he fell into it first.

The two of them said this as they walked, but it also seemed very peaceful.

Leaving from Chen Ziang's mansion, Shao Ming came directly to the top of the city.

He glanced at the guards and suddenly showed a little sadness.

"Alas. Why are there only so few people left? What if the bandits come?"

Because a large number of people were taken away by that Zhang Wei, the defense of Junzhou City was already insufficient, and it was impossible to resist the water bandits that might appear at any time.

Faced with this scene, Shao Ming felt nervous.

At this time, many black spots appeared from a distance, and these black spots gathered one by one, and soon a large number of people were formed.

"Those water bandits, did they really appear again?"

Shao Ming was taken aback, and hurriedly summoned a soldier and shouted: "You quickly call that Chen Ziang, otherwise, we won't be able to fight against these bandits." You know what?"

The man obeyed the order, immediately jumped from the top of the city, and ran straight towards Chen Ziang.

After drinking for a long time, Chen Ziang was feeling drunk, and his eyes were a little dazed, and he heard a knock on the door, which seemed to be quite impatient.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Master Chen. ”

The soldier rushed out directly, shouting at Chen Ziang in a hoarse voice: "Those, those water bandits, they are here again?"

"What are you talking about?"

Chen Ziang shook his head, because of the alcohol, he still felt a little dizzy in his head.

The soldier was nervous and complained, "Naturally, they are the bandits who came to attack the city before." There was a little fear in his trembling mouth: "If you don't go, I'm afraid that they will attack the city, and then we will be completely finished." ”

"What?"

Chen Ziang woke up in shock, but his eyes swept over the soldier and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure what you said is true?"

There are too many spies in the city, and the previous affairs of the armory and granary were all done by these spies, which is why Chen Ziang has doubts about these guys.

"Self, nature!"

The soldier. Constantly nodding his head is like a chicken eating rice.

Chen Ziang complained: "Since this is the case, then you will lead the way in front." You know what?"

The soldier immediately turned around, but he might as well cool his chest, and when he looked down, he saw half a sword blade emerging from his chest: "Lord Chen, you-"

Before the words fell, the blade of the sword jerked, and the soldier suddenly fell to the ground, lifeless.

Chen Ziang stood up at this time, his face was not flushed, he looked sober, but he said, "Hehe." Is it finally getting started?" Hearing footsteps outside the door, he jumped and left, and the door was pushed open, but a group of bandits broke in.

The group of bandits were also surprised to see the soldier lying on the ground, and discussed with each other and dispersed, but they planned to continue the search in order to find out where Chen Ziang was.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziang sneered again and again: "Being able to find me here so quickly, it seems that the spies in the city are indeed very serious." ”

"Why did you want to kill me, right?"

Chen Ziang showed a little contempt, pushed the long sword in his hand, and the blade was more than a few inches deep, but said: "It's just Brother Shao, I'm just curious, why do you want to take refuge in the Song Dynasty?"

"Song Dynasty, Brother Chen, how can you see that?" Shao Ming was obviously stunned, and then showed a little remorse and asked.

Chen Ziang replied: "Haha. Based on your previous actions, do you think you can really hide it from me? deliberately created the Junzhou crisis, and colluded with the water bandits inside and outside, but the ultimate goal was to create an opportunity for Xiangyang City, so that Lu Wende could have the opportunity to send troops to Junzhou. Right. ”

"You, you know it all?"

Shao Ming's face was like ashes, and because he was bleeding too much, he also felt that it was difficult to speak.

Chen Ziang closed his head and replied, "I can probably guess it." After all, you have served as a defense envoy here for ten years, although you deliberately concealed it, but your resentment against Chang'an cannot be concealed. So, you colluded with Lu Wende to make such a good show? It's a pity that your plan failed. ”

Do you think I really don't know what you're up to? But now that you're here, there's no need to continue pretending. And there's no need for you to stay here anymore. ”

The sword is drawn,
